Ocean Fest 2008 Events Schedule
Ocean Fest Sale
The Winchester Bay Community Center, formerly the Grange Hall, will host a sale during Ocean Fest, all three days, July 18,19 & 20, from 9am to 5pm.
Our famously fabulous cinnamon rolls will be fresh from the oven each day. A variety of other baked goods to try and to take home include coffee cakes, cookies and more. Just follow your nose to 7th and Broadway.
In addition to the bake sale, a flea market will be set up in the Center. Look for that unique special-something, or rummage for a treasure you didn't know you needed! A bali batik new clothing sale makes its first appearance at this year's event.
Quilts, quilts & more quilts
The 28th Annual Quilt Show and Sale will take place as usual, at the Reedsport United Presbyterian Church, located at 2360 Longwood Drive, Reedsport.
A terrific showing of antique and wonderfully crafted quilts are on display. Quilters are on site to talk about the quilts and answer questions. Visit the Quilter's Boutique in the annex to purchase materials, supplies and, of course, quilts.
The Quilt Show and Sale is open July 18 and 19, 10 am - 4 pm. On Sunday, July 20, open 12:30 - 4 pm.
